Successful collaboration ensures continuous first class cot surface quality. 10 years ago Rosink installed its first fully automatic cot grinding machine, model SZ1 A, at the Saurer Groups Chinese factory in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.

Today Rosink proudly announces the latest development: new special holding mechanism that allows trouble free and accurate grinding cots for texturing nip rollers.

The close cooperation between Rosink and Saurer Components’ Accotex and Texparts specialists resulted in a product that allows Saurer Components to use the Rosink grinding machine for an even wider range of applications. The new holding mechanism will be applied, together with a holding mechanism for long cots for pre-spinning, in the multi-functional semi-automatic cot grinding machine, model SZ1 HA, which was recently purchased by Rosink’s long term business partner Saurer Components GmbH in Münster, Germany. The grinding machine will be installed at Saurer’s facility in Suzhou soon, along with a universal hydraulic press, model AZ11H.

Since many years multiple Rosink (and former Peter Wolters) cot grinding machines are performing an excellent job at Saurer Components facilities in Münster, Singapore and in Suzhou.

Rosink has multiple new product developments that were engineered in Germany and introduced to the textile industry.

One example is the most powerful Rosink cot grinding machine SZ1 A TWIN. This machine enables fully automatic grinding of a double pair ring spinning top rollers. Production capacity: 500 top roller pairs / hour and more!

Since 1947 Rosink manufactures parts, components, machine assemblies and machines for the textile industry. 125 employees at Rosink’s facility in Nordhorn Germany are grateful for this Milestone.

Rieter advances strategic repositioning amid market volatility

Rieter successfully completed the acquisition of Barmag on February 2, 2026, and reached an important milestone in the company’s repositioning. Barmag will be integrated into the Rieter Group as the “Man-Made Fiber” Division. With this strategically transformative acquisition, Rieter is expanding its core business beyond the short-staple fiber business in a targeted way. This positions Rieter as the global market leader along the entire value chain for natural and man-made fibers. In addition, as a complete systems supplier, Rieter is further strengthening its technological leadership in the areas of automation and digitization.

Measure and control the fiber – optimize yarn quality

Producing consistent yarn quality is an everyday challenge – and a very difficult one. Detailed knowledge and understanding of the fiber raw material is absolutely critical to achieving the best possible quality in the yarn. To help spinners, Uster experts have put together guidelines for avoiding yarn irregularity claims, in a special edition of the Uster News Bulletin.

Rieter responds to higher raw material prices

Global political and economic developments have been leading to rising raw material and energy costs for some time. The textile machinery industry is also affected by this trend. Rieter machines and components consist to a large extent of steel, copper, aluminum and electronics. These materials in particular have seen higher demand and higher prices in recent months.
